Manual Key Rotation
If you need to rekey your GuardPoint prior to the expiration of the current key version, you can manually start a rekey process.
On Windows, you cannot rotate a key until all current data transformations that use the same key have completed, whether those transformations are an initial data transformation or a rekey. On Linux, you can rotate the key at any time. For details, see Rotating Encryption Keys While a Rekey is in Progress (Relaunch)].
